Savage Worlds

GRAmel [visit their website here] has posted an excerpt preview from their new, upcoming Savage Worlds setting TimeZero, looking at Archetypes. “In this preview, you will find some ready-to-play characters, useful when you need to quickly create heroes or for convention games. With some finishing touches, and rolling 1d20 respectively for Background and Origin you can create very different characters! Note that while your character’s Background and Archetype may have the same name, the Background is what he did before being recruited into TimeGuard, and the Archetype is what he does now – your Explorer PC may have been a Modern Era Explorer before he enlisted, but he could just as easily have been a Prehistoric Hunter.” Written by Umberto Pignatelli, it’s available for free download from DriveThruRPG: TimeZero Archetypes.

Labyrinth Lord

Barrel Rider Games [visit their website here] continues their character class supplement releases for Labyrinth Lord, including their latest Death Knight. “With the Death Knight, a new 20-level class for Labyrinth Lord (and other old-school fantasy role-playing games), characters can know the power of darkness and the sacrifices they must make for such unnatural gifts!

Spahn, it’s available for purchase from DriveThruRPG: Death Knight.

Other RPGs

After a successful Kickstarter campaign, Khepera Publishing [visit their website here] has released a beta version of their new pulp fantasy Atlantis: the Second Age core rulebook with complete mechanics and incomplete artwork. “Atlantis is a sword and sorcery game inspired by the works of Fritz Lieber, Michael Moorcock, Robert E. Howard, and Clark Ashton Smith. Atlantis; a strange, wondrous and sometimes horrific antediluvian age where heroes survive by their wits, courage, and strong sword arms.” Written by Doug Bramlett, Kieran Turley, and Jerry D. Grayson, it’s available for purchase from DriveThruRPG: Atlantis: the Second Age.

Blacksburg Tactical Research Center (BTRC) [visit their website here] has released a new and augmented PDF version of their modern conspiracy CORPS RPG. “CORPS is a world very much like our own, but where all the conspiracies are real…somewhere. Adventurers have the dubious gift of being part of the realities that merely influence everyone else. They know the Apollo Program was a hoax…somewhere. The question is, why is it influencing people here, and how does it relate to the Lizard People?” Written by Greg Porter, it’s available for purchase from DriveThruRPG: CORPS v3.0 [augmented pdf].

Emperors Choice [visit their website here] has released new adventure module for the Arduin system – White Roc Inn. “In the annals of Arduin, the White Roc Inn was the deception of deceptions: a crucible of deadly subterfuge that sucked in the alert and the unwary alike. Who knows what brought on its dark past. Perhaps once it was true and steadfast and fell upon dark times; or, maybe it was always a hidden hand of deception. Either way, evil lurked within to snare the unwitting and unwatchful until brave souls rose up to cleanse it. Soon, it was forgotten in the mist of the past, little thought of except in an occasional tale.” Written by Monty St. John, it’s available for purchase from DriveThruRPG: White Roc Inn.

Accessories

DramaScape continues to support the sci-fi battlemap world with their latest entry Steel Fort [view our entry in the Roleplayers Chronicle Reference database here]. “Steel Fort is a single map of a well-defended helicopter base. Four 180-degree flak cannons in each of the four corners cover both the ground and immediate airspace. There are six vertical take-off and landing pads (VTOL), allowing additional air support, one of which is currently occupied by a futuristic VTOL helicopter. An armored personnel carrier (APC) hovercraft stands ready for use as additional ground support. Stairs leading down into the Steel Fort underground levels. Some suggestions for maps of this lower level are DramaScape’s SciFi Marine Quarters or the lowest level of our The Bunker map. The underground living areas would house the Steel Fort’s staff and troops.” Designed by Simon Powell, Steven Black, and Vidar Edland, it’s available for purchase from DriveThruRPG: Steel Fort.

To keep the world of Star Frontiers alive, DwD Studios [visit their website here] has released their latest issue of the free Star Frontiersman magazine, issue #22. “We have another adventure by Rollo (a.k.a. Ben Gorman). I just hope you don’t get infected. A good spaceship addition to the commerce of the Frontier as well as another remastered Dragon article. From Eric Johnson, there is a sequel to his story in Star Frontiersman #17, “Bug Hunt”. It is “Hunger of the Shadow”. And you thought Bladen and Gruk’s adventure was over.” Written by a collaboration of authors, it’s available for download from DriveThruRPG: Star Frontiersman #22.

Following in the Star Frontiers footsteps, the latest issue of the Frontier Explorer magazine [visit their website here] is also available for download. “The Sathar are coming! Issue 6 of the Frontier Explorer is now available for download. This issue focuses on the Sathar and provides a wealth of information on how to integrate the sathar into your campaign. Most of the content is rules agnostic and would allow the inclusion of the sathar regardless of the game system.” It’s available for download from DriveThruRPG: Frontier Explorer – Issue 6.

Diversions

Pinnacle Entertainment Group [visit their website here] has released their latest Wendigo Tales novel for Weird War II – Wunderwaffe. “Oberleutnant Karl Schmidt dreams of being the best pilot in the entire Luftwaffe.

Or the bizarre being some say flies beside him.” Written by Timothy Brian Brown, it’s available for purchase from the Pinnacle webstore: Weird War II: Wunderwaffe.
